SUMMARX 




-C^aK' tf' 


1. It is highly important that military government planning be 
based on the most recent and detailed information concerning Japanese 
administrative systems* 

2. There are certain official and non-official publications whose 
scarcity and detailed content should give them, so far as military 
government is concerned, top priority over all other Japanese publica¬ 
tions. Sixty-two of these, considered the most important for this purpose, 
have been selected in this report* 

3* Research groups working on plans and materials for military 
government officers will need to obtain as quickly as possible copies 
or reproductions of recent issues of these items which will become more 
easily obtainable as areas formerly under Japanese control are occupied 
by the allied forces* 

4* In order to facilitate the recognition and collection of the 
sixty-two publications, available data on the title, publisher, contents, 
and format are given. The dates of issues considered of most value to 
military government are also listed. 

5* Appendixes are added to explain the physical “make-up of Japanese 
printed matter and the Japanese systems of dates and numbers, to identify 
the chief local administrative units publishing important materials, and 
to supply a short key list of Japanese characters.

GUIDE TO THE COLLECTION OF PUBLICATIONS ESSENTIAL FOR 
MILITARY GOVERNMENT PLANKING IN JAPAN 

I. NATURE AND PROBABLE LOCATION OF PRINTED SOURCES 


In order to be prepared as adequately as possible for conditions that 
will be met in the administration of military government of Japanese areas 
occupied by United States armed forces, it is of particular importance to 
make available to the military government officers plans and materials 
based on the most recent detailed information concerning Japanese adminis- 
trative systems. Such information would pertain to public safety and public 
relations (police, justice, education, communications, public information 
facilities, biographical data); political affairs (administration of local 
and national government, parties and elections, laws and decrees); govern¬ 
ment regulation of industrial and civilian economy (industry, inflation, 
price control, rationing); labor and population; trade and transportation; 
agriculture and food; finance and banking; and similar subjects. 

So far as it is available in published form, this information is to be 
found chiefly in the official publications of the Japanese government. There 
are in addition useful commercial publications which discuss and criticize 
the official pronouncements. Tftiile the government documents give in detail 
the laws, regulations, and systems that are theoretically put into effect, 
they usually lack the descriptive data to show the practical methods by 
which they are implemented. The commercial publications often contain 
popular interpretations and practical applications of such administration. 
They are also more easily obtainable than the less-widely circulated govern¬ 
ment publications. 

The present guide has been compiled as an aid to the recognition and 
acquisition of the most important of these publications. It contains a 
highly selective list of the sixty-two titles considered of most value in 
the preparation of information for military government officers, together 
with a summary description of each of them. Since all are top priority 
items, it is difficult to distinguish any relative importance*that may 
exist between them. It may be said, however, that there is a particular 
need of the items published by the Japanese government, and a special ur¬ 
gency of items treating Japan Proper. 

In order to facilitate the collection of these materials by officers 
unfamiliar with the form and appearance of Japanese publications and with 
the Japanese language, Appendixes A and B are designed to explain the 
physical make-up of oriental printed matter and the Japanese systems of

RESTRICTED 


— 2 - 


dates and numbers. Appendix C lists the chief local administrative 
units publishing important materials* Appendix D contains a short 
list of key Japanese characters likely to be found in the titles of 
publications dealing with civil affairs. 

As territories formerly under Japanese control are taken over 
by allied forces, a much larger quantity of these research mater¬ 
ials - and of more recent issue - will become obtainable. If they 
are recognized, and if the uses tc which they may be put are known, 
these publications will supply data of immediate value to military 
government. In general, all material printed since 1937 is im¬ 
portant for the planning of military government in Japan, and later 
years take precedence over earlier dates. The guide indicates which 
dates are of particular value to military government. 

It is of the utmost importance to insure the receipt by military 
government research groups, in the shortest possible time , of copies 
or reproductions of any of these issues that may be discovered . 

Files of the materials are most often to be found in the nore 
important Japanese government offices (including those in the colonies 
and other occupied areas), in the larger libraries, and in the offices 
of the larger Japanese business firms.

NOTE : 

Although the three publications discussed above contain much the 
same type of materials, all of them are nevertheless considered 
necessary and of primary importance. This is due to the degree 
of completeness, to the arrangement of subject matter, or to the 
convenience of use. If no bibliographical data such as bill num?- 
ber or date are known, or if the purpose is to get the complete 
data on a given rule or regulation in any field, immediately 
accessible in one place, Genko Horei Shuran is the best reference 
to consult. If the bill number or date of enactment and issuing 
department is known, or if the purpose is to find chronological 
information affecting laws and regulations, H<5rei Zensho or KampS 
is preferred. Horei Zensho is commonly thought of as a "reduced" 
KampB, in which more details and even wider fields are covered.

IV. COLONIAL ADMINISTRATION FJBLICATIONS 


The government bureaus of Japanese colonies also issue 
publications containing laws and regulations, official news, 
personnel registers, statistical information, etc. These 
are, in nature and in importance, similar to the publica¬ 
tions discussed above, but they are limited to affairs under 
the jurisdiction of their particular colonial administration. 
The more important of them are given below. They will be of 
great value in preparing information for the use of military 
government or civil affairs liaison officers in Korea, For¬ 
mosa, Kanto-kyoku, Karafuto, and the South Seas. (Analo¬ 
gous publications on areas occupied since 1941 may now be 
found•} 


In addition to the specific titles, the colonial admini¬ 
stration offices also issue other publications which follow 
the same line of similarity to the home government documents* 
Each publishes its own Shokuin Roku (official personnel re¬ 
gisters) ; there are annual progress reports; reports on indi¬ 
vidual fields such as finance, communications, education, 
labor, etc. Further, in the larger colonies like Korea and 
Formosa which have prefectures and counties, these smaller 
administrative units issue their own publications, compar¬ 
able to those issued by the prefectures and smaller units in 
Japan Proper.

APPENDIX A 

PHYSICAL KAKE-UP OF JAPANESE PUBLICATION 

Although many Japanese publications are now printed in western 
style, most of them follow the oriental style of physical make-up, 
which is the reverse of the occidental. 

This can be illustrated by comparing an issue of Shuho , for 
example, with a copy of Time magazine. Rightside up, with binding 
edge on the left, the uppermost page of Time is the front cover; 
that of Shuho , in the same position, is the back cover. If Shuho 
is flipped over, with binding edge now at the right, the front cover 
is visible. Beneath this is the title page, followed ordinarily by 
the preface (J4~ ), if any, and then by the table of contents (@ > 

orgi.). 

The text on each page is most often in vertical columns reading 
from top to bottom and beginning at the right. When, rarely, the 
text is in horizontal columns, the book will in general follow the 
western physical formation in other respects as well. 

Name of author and publisher are frequently omitted from the 
title page at the beginning of the volume. In all legally published 
books and magazines, however, there appears at the end of the volume 
a box containing these and other bibliographical details, including 


RESTRICTED 








RESTRICTED 


Appendix A P.2 


6U- 

date of publication and printing. (In magazines, the box is often 
followed by pages of advertisements.) 

In many annuals the date appears in the title, in Ttfiich case 
this is the date designated in the guide in the column headed "Issues 
of Value to Military Government." Weekly or monthly publications 
usually carry the date on the cover or on the contents page. Whether 
or not the date appears in any of these places, the date of publica¬ 
tion, as well as the date of issue, will be found in the box at the 
end of the publication as explained above. The cover or title date in 
many cases differs from the publication date.

APPENDIX B 

JAPANESE SYSTEMS OF DATES AND NUMBERS 

The Japanese year ( ^ ) has the same number of months ( ) and 

days ( E3 ) as the western calendar year. The year is expressed on 
the basis of the number of years that have passed since the begin¬ 
ning of the current era. Instead of saying that this is A*D. 1945 
(the 1945-th year of the Christian Era), the Japanese say that this 
is the SOth year of their current ( Showa ) era, the first year of which 
was 1926. 

For the present purposes, only three eras are important: 

Meiji (BjEjy^) 1868-1912 
Taisho (A. JE. ) 1912-1926 

Showa (0g^O) 1926- 

Since 1868, 1912, and 1926 are the first years of the respective 
eras, the numerals following the era sign added to 1867, 1911, or 1925 
(depending on the era name) will give the corresponding year as reck¬ 
oned by the western calendar. Some examples follow:

Appendix B P.2 


- 66 - 

Numerals on publications are only occasionally written in Japan¬ 
ese characters; but because of the simplicity of Japanese numerals 
they should cause no difficulty. Single characters are used for nume¬ 
rals from 0 to 10, and for 100, 1,000, etc. From 11 on, the present 
practice is to use the character for each digit in succession, writ¬ 
ten either vertically or horizontally. For example, 13 consists of 
the characters for 1 and 3; 39, for 3 and 9; 547 for 5, 4, and 7. 
Correctly, from 11 upwards the character for 10, 100, 1,000 etc., 
should be inserted, but it is usually omitted. Examples are shown 
below:

APFENDIX C 

JAPANESE PREFECTURES AM) ADMINISTRATIVE REGIONS 

In order to facilitate military government officers in identi¬ 
fying prefectural ( ken iff, ) publications, many of which have at 
the beginning of their title the name of the prefecture, a complete 
list of these 47 divisions, with Japanese characters, is given below. 
Since it is possible that the 9 administrative regions (established 
in 1943 for regional self-sufficiency and reduced in 1945 to 8) now 
issue publications on affairs pertinent to their own regions, this 
scheme is also shown, 

• The prefectures are listed here alphabetically. The most coim- 
jaon Japanese arrangement is by geographical location (following a 
north-south pattern)• The number in parentheses preceding the ro¬ 
man ized name of the prefecture indicates where it wculd be placed 
according to Japanese arrangement*
